WBO2 thoughts

[The Punisher]

Thats an exact description of the Wideband O2 assembly that we had on the 
Dynojet where I used to work. We never had any problems with the sensors 
unless somebody instaled it sloppy and let the hoses or wire get cought 
between the rollers and rear tires. The force of being shot off the back of 
the dyno would kill the sensor evry time.
Even at the tail pipe and through a tube you can get real good readings. We 
didnt realy see much advantage to installing sensors in the factory O2 
sensor bungs.
